CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW ( POV )
Bessy, are you going to miss your room?" Hailey jokingly asked,
"Nah," Hailey and I laughed with each other, I am finally discharged from the hospital that's why we are happy,
"Cal let's go," It's Aldrin, He was smiling at me and acting like nothing weird happened yesterday, I don't know if I should feel happy now that Aldrin, my long time crush has finally know how I feel about him but still I'm relieved now that he knows how I feel, I'm done hiding my feelings for him,
"Ooohhh... Bessy, why are you blushing? I smell something fancy, Are you guys....."
"NO!! WE ARE NOT!!" Aldrin and I denied in chorus, I looked at Aldrin while he's also looking at me,
Even though we confessed our feelings we are still friends, he said he's going to wait and I am glad because of that,
"Relax you guys, I didn't even get to finish what I was about to say," I smiled awkwardly at Hailey because of what she said, She likes Aldrin, and yet she's teasing us,
"Let's go, taking a taxi will be hard if we don't leave now," Aldrin said changing the topic,
We all agreed then went outside of the hospital room, I can't believe that I stayed in here for almost 3 days, Goodbye boring room,
I am so excited to go back to our apartment at the University, what I look forward to most is going back to class
I'm so happy.....
"You want to go to a beautiful garden?"
"Yes Daddy, Yey!!" I heard the two people that passed by us said, it looks like they're father and daughter,
The beautiful garden?
That's where Artreus brought me the other day, I wonder if he's back to his normal self, he left yesterday but he didn't return to visit again, I smiled remembering the beautiful fountain that Artreus and I saw at the beautiful garden
But...
My smile disappeared when suddenly....
"Calesie?" I looked at Aldrin because he called me,
"Mm?"
"Are you alright? You look so worried about something,"
"No... I mean yes I'm fine hehe," I lied, I feel the pain again, I touched my stomach putting pressure on it, This pain inside my stomach is going to appear for a second then disappear, it's bothering me,
"I'll get a taxi just wait for me here, it's hot outside,"
"Mm....." Hailey and I agreed, Aldrin went to where he's going to get a taxi, It looks so hot outside is he going to be alright? he doesn't even have an umbrella to serve as his shade,
"Calesie!!" It's Kio's voice, I look in the direction where I heard Kio's voice, I saw him walking towards us while he's smiling.... I'm so glad to see him too...
"Calesie are you okay now?" Kio asked, I smiled at him and then said...
"I'm fine, no need to worry anymore,"
"That's good, Let's go, Let me take you to the University, I brought a car so that you won't be taking public transportation to go back,"
"Re-Really? Thank you, Kio,"
"Ehem..... Who is he, Bessy?" Hailey asked while simply whispering to me, I looked at Hailey because she's looking at Kio like she doesn't trust him, they haven't met each other yet that's why Hailey's cautious,
"Bessy this is Kio, Kio she is Bessy..... I mean Hailey she's also my friend,"
"Hello Nice to meet you, I'm Kio," Kio offered Hailey a handshake so Hailey accepted it, and then she said.....
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Hailey, Calesie's BEST friend hehe,"
"Calesie let me take you back to the University, it's hard to get a taxi at this hour,"
"Are you sure? Is the three of us going to fit inside your car?" I asked,
"Uhhh..... Three? Who's the other one?"
"He's over there," Hailey said pointing at Aldrin, he's sweating a lot,
"Aldrin! No need to grab a taxi we have Kio's car to take us back," Hailey shouted at Aldrin while Aldrin was waving his hands trying to get attention from the taxi drivers that are passing by,
Aldrin went towards us while looking at Kio when he got closer he stared at Kio and then.....
"Hey bro," Aldrin greeted,
"Hey," Why are they looking at each other like they're so serious?
"Who are you?" Aldrin asked,
"I'm Kio and you are?"
"Aldrin, Nice to meet you," Why do I feel like there's tension between them,
"Don't worry Calesie, the three of you are going to fit inside, Let's go, I'm sure you're excited to go back,"
"Thank you so much, Kio,"
"Anything for you Calesie," Kio started walking so we followed him, I can see that Aldrin is looking at me like he's scanning me or something, I looked at him but he looked away, Is there something wrong?
Minutes of walking we are finally at the hospital's parking lot,
"There's the car," Kio pointed at the beautiful black car on the side of the parking lot, the car is shiny and big, Yep, We are going to fit inside,
"That's a pretty car," Hailey said looking so amazed
"Come inside guys," Kio said opened the door at the front seat then he went inside, Is he not going to drive his car? or his with a driver,
Hailey opened the door then went inside, she's so excited, Aldrin and I also went inside the car but.....
"Glad to see you again Calesie," I was so surprised to see him seated at the driver's seat...
"Artreus?" Artreus looked at me then smiled,
"Glad you're finally discharged Calesie, Are you feeling well now?"
"Yes I'm alright, Thank you," I don't know what else to say to him,
"It's you again," Hailey said,
"Nice to see you again too,"
"Who?" Aldrin asked,
"He's with Calesie when she was stabbed, he's the one who ordered me to call the ambulance,"
"If that's the case, Thanks bro for being with her that night," Aldrin thanked,
"You-You're welcome," He said then faced the front of the car again,
Artreus started the car, I don't know why but I can see Artreus looking at me from the front mirror, I can feel from how he looks at me that he wants to tell me something,
*MINUTES LATER*
"Thank you so much for the ride Artreus and Kio," I thanked
We are now inside the University, I miss this place,
"Anything for you Calesie," I smiled because of what Kio said, Artreus is behind him looking at me but he's not talking,
"Cal let's go, you should still take a rest," Aldrin said from behind me,
"I am going now, see you tomorrow at school, thanks again for the ride," I turned around then started walking with Aldrin and Hailey going back to the girl's building, but...
the truth is.....
I also wanted to talk to Artreus about something...
"Calesie," I turned around as soon as I heard him called my name,
"Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked,
I nodded as my answer for Artreus, I followed where he is going because he started walking away but Aldrin stopped me by grabbing my hand,
"Just wait here, this'll not take long," I removed Aldrin's hand that's holding mine, I want this talk to be private since I don't want Hailey, Aldrin, and Kio hear our conversation,
"What do you want us to talk about?" I asked we are now far away from them, Artreus stopped and turned around to face me,
"I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for what happened, and once again thank you for saving my life,"
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Calesie I... I know that he did something to you that day when he appeared, I don't know what it is but still, I wanted to apologize, Actreus is... You see his my other self, His the one that's protecting me from my memories, I don't remember most of my past because of him," Base on what he told me, Kio didn't tell Artreus about what he saw at the rooftop, He's doing it to protect him,
"Why are you telling me this?"
"He's my illness Calesie and I want you to keep this a secret, Please," So Actreus' purpose is to protect Artreus from his past, I wonder how bad his past is that he has to experience this kind of mental health,
"Don't worry, your secret is safe to me,"
"Thank you," I smiled because of what he said,
"Let's go back, your friend is waiting for you," He said I turned around and then we walked going back to where Aldrin and Hailey is,
It's my first time to encounter a person who has this kind of illness, A person with split personality means that he has trauma,
"Thanks for the time Calesie," Artreus said, We are now back to where they are,
"You're welcome, see you," Aldrin, Hailey, and I started walking going towards the Girl's Building, this time no one stopped me,
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Thanks for walking with us all the way here Aldrin," I said, We are now in front of the Girl's Building,
"You're welcome, Go inside, you must be tired,"
"Thank you again,"
"Let's go, Bessy, Calixta is waiting," Hailey said,
We went inside the girl's building then went to the elevator to go to where our apartment is, Which is the 2nd floor,
After minutes....
*TING* ( ELEVATOR SOUND )
We walked going towards where apartment 50 is, I opened the door, when I went inside, I smell something so delicious.....
"Calesie!!!!!" Calixta screamed out of e>xcitement then hugged me tightly,
"I miss you," Calixta said, I hugged her back then said,
"I miss you more,"
"I cooked delicious food just for you,"
"Ehem..." Hailey coughed,
"And for Hailey, of course, come on, let's eat," I smiled because of what Calixta said, I am happy that she changed a lot from before and she's now smiling,
We all went to the kitchen inside the apartment, but as I take another step....
"Calesie what's wrong?" Calixta asked
I sat down and hugged my stomach because of.....
